How to beat Draven as Twitch: the early game

You beat Draven's early aggression: his axe economy forces him to step forward to catch Spinning Axes, and every greedy step lets you W-slow and detonate a venom stack. He has no dash and only Stand Aside to peel, so farm behind minions and punish his over-extensions with support CC. His axe economy forces him forward, and every greedy step is a Venom Cask plus a stacked Contaminate. Take those trades and nothing else. Never contest a minion he is standing beside, and use Ambush to leave rather than to arrive, because a Blood Rush chase ends this lane immediately.
